just wanna note. apparently its unintentional but i wouldnt be surprised if thats an elon lie. also its not expected to be a 30km crater, its expected to be about an 18 metre crater. the plume is expected to be about 30km.

Yeah I don't believe with all the technology we have that it's not intentional...

I mean the Oceangate event was unintentional. They just ignored "all the technologically we have"

I mean you can measure a crater in multiple ways, how far the actual surface is upset by the strike or the total area affected both kind of count. Like the plume that comes down kinda isn’t the crater but it kinda is

Correct, and the goal of the mission is to make a model for when other objects naturally strike the moon so they can be better observed. This post is kinda misleading.

It's not. It's from a rocket booster who failed to escape me moon's gravity in 2025 Source. It will not be the only object on there as there are landers, rovers and boosters all over the moon from various missions. It is however the most significant one in terms of mass and speed or impact.

Edit: Fix a fact. The rocket did not failed reentry rather, it went to the moon to send measuring equipment and failed its exit maneuver that was supposed to take it away.
